THE WEDDING NIGHT...

Truth be told...entering into a beautiful relationship which leads to marriage is the dream of every single individual.


It's pretty exciting, especially on the wedding day,  when you finally get the chance to explore all.....and I mean ALL of the crazy things that for the sake of obedience to God's command against fornication, you've said NO to.

Total bliss isn't it?....

Before long,  the honeymoon becomes another topic to be discussed; the romantically exotic sights are mentioned, locations are considered,  hotels are booked and the body is psyched up for a jolly good time!

Well......that is the plan...

Anyway... 

This is my take on the wedding night... 

The wedding night and the marriage bed is a very spiritual activity and not so physical as it is thought to be. 
This is the night where the real BLOOD COVENANT that we always talk about actually takes place. 
This is the night where the blood of two different people, now joined as one, actually seal the covenant (which they made to God on His altar) and are SPIRITUALLY  TIED together by their SOULS.

....pretty serious don't you think?

This is why the Word of God admonishes us to see our bodies as the temple of the Almighty and not defile it in any way, nor to commit fornication or even adultery.......(this is just by the way....back to what I'm driving at).

Now, taking into account the level of seriousness attached to the joining of soul and body of a man and a woman, do you, in your honest opinion, think that this form of 'SACRIFICE' or 'RITE' should be done just anywhere?

.....not at all....

It is good to treat yourselves with the choicest and most luxurious hotels in the world.......to show your spouse that he/she deserves it....but the best place for this should be your matrimonial home and on your matrimonial bed...not your sofa, living room floor or even the pool table.

This will serve as a symbol of sanctity: it will be a constant reminder of where your oneness truly began and you will most especially keep the marriage bed from being defiled.

In any case, would you like to use a bed which has been used by many married couples, adulterers and sadly, commercial sex workers for something as important as your first night together?...


FOOD FOR THOUGHT...

Go With God

When I started Sharing Life, my intention was to put out what I knew Holy Spirit was teaching me. This was what He asked me to do. It wasn't to parade myself as an all-figured-out girl who was on her way to becoming a preacher.  It was a journey of life I was learning and one which I had received the go-ahead to let the world in on.  Somewhere on this road, I was seen as a "Woman of God" and put on this high and mighty pedestal which wasn't me.  And you know what, in such moments, it is so easy to get carried away by the accolades of men to the point where you lose sight of your journey, where you are and decide to serve the expectations of others... thereby neglecting your own journey and growth.  After taking a very long break from active writing, I have on numerous occasions attempted to start writing again but the fear of being put on that pedestal has stopped me so many times.  I am a child of God. I am a girl on a journey. I don't have it all f...

My journey with Holy Spirit

This might probably be the longest I will ever publish. Here we go... Senior High School I started my relationship with Holy Spirit in St. Louis Senior High School. At that time, my father was going through a bit of a struggle and I didn't want to be a burden to him. I had made a terrible decision to combine my chopbox with a friend's and when my provisions finished, I couldn't call home. I was sad and I remembered that daddy had told me that if I ever wanted to change and be a better human, I should start by reading the "Book of Proverbs".  I came across Wisdom and I prayed for that Friendship and then someway somehow, I believed that I was never alone and that I had a Friend with me and that was when I starting fellowshiping with Holy Spirit.     Prior to this, I remember when I was in class 6, I heard Someone share His heart with me. He asked me, " Why is it that when people have problems, they tell their friends about it and then their fr...

3 Things I Admire About King David

  Hello Sharing Life fam! How is the going? I hope everything is kosher. One of the things I am most thankful for is to be a member of the Word & Spirit Feasts family. At the Word & Spirit Feasts, we have learnt how important structure is as we endeavour to be all that ABBA has called us to be. One of the principles that make a good spiritual structure is Bible Reading. I just finished 1Kings Chapter 2 and would like to share 3 things I admire about King David. 1.       King David did not entertain guilt and condemnation I have learnt that one thing the devil specialises in is condemnation. He is the accuser of the brethren for a reason. His commitment is in ensuring that we stay feeling bad for wrong done. One thing my spiritual father would say is: the devil will accuse of not doing the right thing and when you do the right thing, he will accuse you that it is not enough. That is what he does best. But, we see in 2Samuel 11 tha...
